Can we just turn up
No, you need to book your paintball, tank paintball and laser
combat games in advance to ensure that we can accommodate your
group without the risk of double booking. In order to book your game,
please contact us (details on the contact us page) stating the date
you wish to play paintball, tank paintball or laser combat and
the number of players in your group.
Your booking will be provisionally held for 10 days. In order to
confirm and secure the reservation, you should complete the booking
form and return it to us within 10 days of your phone call together
with a deposit of £10 per player.
No deposits - No game.
Do we mix in with other groups
Paintball
Yes. We run games of up to 50/60 paintball players unless you
have 40+ players in which case you have the game to yourself.
Unlike every other site we know of and to ensure you get the chance
to shoot all your friends as well as some strangers we mix you and
your group around -either by having odd versus even numbers or we
have one third of the total group defending a position (i.e. The
Fort) against the other two thirds.
BFL Combat
We need 10 players to get a game going. Smaller groups can be
linked in with booked games. If you only want to play with your
group you need 20+ players.
Tank Paintball
We need 8 players to get a game going, 12 players max. To have
an exclusive game you need 12 players.
Does paintball hurt
If you are shot at very close range by a paintball it does sting
-it's enough to give you the incentive to not to get shot by
another paintball! But not enough to put you off your game of
paintball (unless you have a very, very low pain threshold).
If you are concerned about getting shot by paintballs, you might
like to consider playing Battle Field Live Combat
instead which uses infra red guns.
Is it safe
Paintball
Yes. Paintball is as safe as any active participant sport can
be. Providing that you observe the basic safety regulations, the
worst you will end up with is a few scratches and bruises. We have
and have every intention of keeping an extremely good safety
record.
BFL Combat
You are not being hit by anything as in paintball. The key thing
is watch where you are going. Running around a wood without
due care can lead to falls and collisions.
Tank Paintball
Your tank has a roll bar and you are well strapped in. The game
area is relatively flat terrain with obstacles scattered around for
cover. You are protected by the bodywork and the paintball
screen as well as wearing a paintball mask and hood.
We do recommend you wear sensible footwear for running around a
woodland environment.
All our activities are supervised and there is always a trained
first aider on site.
Is the game affected by the weather
Conditions do not affect our activities in the
slightest. Many say "the worse the weather - the better the fun".
You may get wet while playing paintball but you won't notice -the
excitement and adrenaline more than compensate for inclement
weather conditions. Don't forget, while you're not playing
paintball you'll be in the weatherproof safe zones and there is
always a hot cup of tea or coffee waiting back at the admin area
for everyone.
What do you need to bring
We strongly recommend that you play in a comfortable pair of
boots or trainers. Old sweatshirts and jeans are sufficient to be
worn under our overalls and a pair of gloves is advisable to cover
your hands. If you want to look like a veteran paintball player to
psyche out the opposition, bring your own combat kit. Also bring a
change of clothing for the journey home.
Bring some food as we only have choc bars for sale
What is provided
Off road parking, all weather safety zones, ladies and gents
toilets, tables and benches for 90 people in our admin area. Trench
system, Bridge Assault, The Fort, Village, Jungle, Cheeseburger
Slope, Speedball as well as Flag games. The paintball and
laser combat games are played in dense/open woodland (See our
mission map).
All our paintball and laser combat scenarios are being added
and/or upgraded each year, for more information about our paintball
and laser combat game areas see our "Missions" page. Every
paintball player is issued with - Proto mask, hood, overalls,
A5 semi-automatic paintball gun, belt and ammo pouch and team
armband.
Goggles are cleaned and demisted prior to each game for you to
ensure you see clearly, throughout the day.
Who can play
Paintball
Anyone 14 years of age (14 and 15 year olds require parents
consent) who has a sense of adventure can play paintball. You'll
need to have a basic level of fitness to play paintball or laser
combat and wish to spend a day participating in what will certainly
be the most stimulating game you are ever likely to have played. If
bruising or physical exertion could result in a medical problem
(skin conditions, heart/respiratory problems etc), paintball and
laser combat may not be the sports for you.
BFL Combat
Anyone 8 years of age and upwards.
Tank Paintball
Anyone 16 years of age and upwards. Size and height restrictions
do apply.
